Introducing Hudson the Pirate...

How stinking cute is this!?
This adorable little mean man is heading to a great girl, Marcie. She is one of my co-workers at one of my schools and is expecting her first little one, Hudson, this summer. One of my other co-workers, Susan, ordered it for her because her husband loves pirates. I think that is too cute!

I love the way he turned out and the eye patch is just too much!!!
Thank you again for your Maggie Moo order, Susan!

I hope that Marcie and Nick love it!

Introducing Marley the Motorcycle...

...Introducing Marley the Motorcycle...
I love this shirt.

This sweet shirt is heading to Mr. Evan that is also receiving Evan the Monster Truck. His mom requested that he also have a motorcycle shirt. I have to say that this shirt has LOADS of detail, just in thread. I think it turned out really great!

I just know that Evan is going to be so sweet in both of his Maggie Moo shirts! Thanks Shannon for your orders! I can't wait for you to receive them!





Luke the Owl for Mr. Coop and Mr. Andy...


These sweet shirts are heading to the lucky little boys of Christy. She also ordered the K-9 shirts from me. I love how these little owls turned out and the red just makes them pop.

I hope you love them Christy! Thank you so much for your business!


Introducing Coco the Cupcake...

I have already done one cupcake shirt, but I didn't have a name so I opened it up to my readers to give me some suggestions. Congratulations goes to Karin for suggesting Coco! I loved them all, but I think that one suits this shirt the best! Thanks for all your suggestions!

This sweet set was for a wonderful co-worker of mine. She purchased this set for her Youth Minister's daughter, Aspen. I love that name. She really loved my first cupcake and then when I saw these shorts, it was a hit. I carefully matched the fabric to bring out the best of the sweet colors of the shorts! I love this set so much! Maggie already has one in the works!!!

Thank you so much for your order, Sherry! I hope that Ms. Aspen loves it!

Introducing Evan the Monster Truck...


I love that my boy clothing gallery is growing...and I LOVE this shirt!

Shannon contacted me and requested a Monster Truck for her son, Evan. She said he loves monster trucks and motorcycles. I have the motorcycle shirt in the works, but I couldn't wait to post this shirt!

I love the Amy Butler Dot Fabric for the truck and all the detail just makes it look real!
I think the mud that the truck is splashing around in is my favorite part!






Shannon, thank you so much for your orders! I hope you love shirt #1!


Would love to hear what you think about this new design!

Alex the Monkey for Emory...



Amy in South Carolina contacted me to order a sweet little monkey for her little monkey, Emory. I love that name. She asked me if we could create Alex the Monkey, but girlie.
Girlie to me...means...a sweet little bow! I love how this shirt turned out and I hope that Ms. Emory loves it as well.

Thank you for your order Amy! I can't wait to see Ms. Emory in her new Maggie Moo shirt!

K-9 Shirts for Cooper and Andy...

These sweet shirts are for some very lucky little boys. Christy contacted me and placed an order for several shirts for her twin boys. She has been so great to work with and I am so glad that she loves these shirts. This is the first set of three. Her boys are going to be dressed to the 9's in Maggie Moo Originals.

Thanks for your orders Christy. I can't wait to show you the others!

A Flower and Frog for Ms. Savannah...


This order is for a little sweetie that will be here later this year. Her mom, Lana, contacted me after seeing an order I did for a teacher friend of mine with Tessa the Frog. She wanted a Flower and a Froggie shirt for Sweet Savannah's arrival. I love the way they turned out and can't wait to see pictures of her in them. Lana lives in Florida...can you believe that Maggie Moo Originals are making there way there! I am so excited!

Thanks Lana for your orders and I hope you love them. Good luck through the rest of your pregnancy!

The Alligator Is My Friend...

This post is a very special one to me and takes me back to some wonderful memories. I worked at a camp here locally called Camp Widijiwagan where I taught tennis and was a camp counselor for one summer during college. I loved it! It was actually the first time Josh, my husband, and I worked together. Every morning, we would sign songs and get ready for the day. One of the songs was called "The Alligator Is My Friend." As the summer went on, the camp leader would dedicate the song to me because my camp nickname was Alie. Get it...Alliegator...I loved it.

The song goes...
The alligator is my friend...
And she can be your friend too...
I would rather have her has my friend...
Then wear her on my shoe...
(then you would make your hands like an alligator mouth and go...)

Alll--iiii-ggg-aaaa-ttttt--ooo0-rrr

The camp leader was named Merle. I loved him. He made "work" fun for everyone! So this shirt is named after my friend Merle.

This sweet shirt is for Alex, owner of Alex the Monkey. His mom, Angie, contacted me and said that he would love an alligator shirt...Could I do one? Of course! He is going to look so adorable in this. I started with yummy blue shirt and added some adorable Amy Butler dot fabric for the alligator and coordinating orange dots for the bird on the back.

Angie, I hope you and Alex love his new shirt! Thanks for your order! I hope to make more for Mr. Alex soon!

Introducing Harrison the Hippo...


I LOVE this design. It might be one of my personal favorites.

This set is for a great girl, Sarah A.
She is expecting her third little sweetie this summer...her first boy. She is so excited about having a boy. She works a ton with my sister, Brea, at her consignment sale. At Brea's latest sale, Sarah mentioned that she was naming her little boy Harrison...obviously, I love that name. She said...How cute would it be for you to make me a Harrison the Hippo...I LOVED it!

I love the way that this whole set turned out. She wanted the Harrison the Hippo shirt and a burp cloth set. One burp cloth with a hippo and a small "h" and the other with his initials..."hda."

I used a ton of Amy Butler dot fabric and some yummy felt. I think it all turned out really sweet...

Sarah, thanks for your business...I hope you LOVE your items.
I can't wait till Mr. Harrison is here to see him in his hippo shirt!
